Parsons Street in Banbury used to be called Gropec*nt Lane!

It's a common name, many towns had a road with this name, often updated to Lovers Lane

It's nowhere near Cornwall....it's in Plymouth and is a stone's throw from my laptop as we speak. There is also a pub there...called The Pennycomequick.

"Falmouth (Cornish: Aberfal) was originally called Peny-cwm-cuic, which became 'Pennycomequick'. It was formed from the older parish of Budock in 1661."

There was another very famous street in London in Cheapside called Gropec**t lane

Ooops just seen it mentioned in previous post

Saw an old map of London the other day, medieval, and just near St Pauls, was a street that when you disentangled the spelling seemed to be called Pissing Bowl street...

And Lynsore Bottom :?:

Funny you mention that... rode through it a little while back
